A Cold Morning Leads to an Improvised Workout
So it was 24 degrees outside when I got up this morning. Being the fair weather runner that I am I decided that if I run today it will be later this afternoon. I decided instead to just do a light workout. Maybe a little less strenuous than if it were only workout for the day but a little harder than my normal pre-run workout.
Mike Zito’s Rock ‘n’ Roll: A Tribute to Chuck Berry kicks off my morning workout
I didn’t use a soundtrack per say but made it up as I went along. I started out with some dance-cardio. The first three songs were from Rock ‘n’ Roll: A Tribute to Chuck Berry Mike Zito’s new album. Two songs from Victor Wainwright came next “Piana from Savannah” and “Let’s Go, Get Gone” At that point, I was 10 plus minutes into the workout and heals burnt over 100 calories.
I was also ready to shift gears and shift into some Kundalini using Snatam Kaur’s “Mul Mantra”. This portion of the workout consists of some Kundalini warm up exercises and the core workout exercises. It last a little over 7 minutes.
The final section of the workout focused on legs and hips. All done to the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s cover of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine”

Now as I sit here writing this, the temperature has risen to a comfortable running level. So I should be out running, but LSU is playing Alabama, and I do want to watch that game. Hmm, looking at the weather for tomorrow I see it’s going to be warmer tomorrow and the Eagles are t playing. I do believe I will be running tomorrow!
Now if I do another 20 minute Cardio workout Later today I could burn as many calories as a run!!
